+1. I would recommend that you do something like that on your bands own site, and then throw it up onto a site with more traffic. Look seriously at how much traffic your site gets. I've found that yeah, we love our website and stuff, but places like MySpace provide way more traffic to our material. So a link from there would definitely be the call. However, check out somewhere like CDBaby. They might take a chunk out of your sales, but if you sell a hundred a month through them and 1/mo. through your site, you're still gonna make out better in the end. Personally, I've bought quite a few CD's from CDBaby. Paypals, or the "send us a check" route is still totally doable, but if it's about making money (which is is) then the rule of thumb is distribution. The more places it's available the more you'll sell. Do that, put it on CDBaby, I think Amazon even has something for DIY indie artists, but I could be wrong, AND don't forget you have to run around and sell copies to the mom and pop music shops around your local area. Hope this helps. Congrats on completing the CD. We've just started recording ours and it's a big task to say the least.
